By the Sky and the Night-Visitant (therein);-

86-2

And what will explain to thee what the Night-Visitant is?-

86-3

(It is) the Star of piercing brightness;-

86-4

There is no soul but has a protector over it.

86-5

86-6

86-7

86-8

Surely (God) is able to bring him back (to life)!

86-9

The Day that (all) things secret will be tested,

86-10

(Man) will have no power, and no helper.

86-11

By the Firmament which returns (in its round),

86-12

And by the Earth which opens out (for the gushing of springs or the sprouting of vegetation),-

86-13

86-14

86-15

86-16

And I am planning a scheme.

86-17

Therefore grant a delay to the Unbelievers: Give respite to them gently (for awhile). THE MOST HIGH, GLORY TO YOUR LORD IN THE HIGHEST, CHAPTER NO. 087
